Virginia's 2007 state elections were held on November 6, 2007. Voters elected all 100 members of the
Virginia House of Delegates to two-year terms ending in 2009, and all 40 members of the
Virginia Senate to four-year terms ending in 2011. There were also elections for local offices (such as Board of Supervisors and Clerk of the Circuit Court) in most counties. Occurring simultaneously were local elections in some counties.

In general, the
Democrats emphasized transportation and the grid lock within the
Republican-controlled
Virginia General Assembly. The Democrats ran a statewide coordinated "21/51" campaign seeking to regain control of both the House and the Senate. The Republicans emphasized the need to take local actions against illegal
immigration.
